If boy or girl are not adults (reached the age of adulthood) they need approval from parents and judge for marriage
the Judge can decide if they are suitable for sexual intercourse or not, also financial and mental abilities, etc.
By the way there is no minimum age for marriage in California as well!!!
Minimum age in California is 18. Getting married younger than 18 requires a few steps:
Quote:If either of you is under eighteen (18) years of age, you will need to make an appointment with a counselor, appear before a superior court judge, show certified copies of your birth certificates, and have one parent appear with you when you apply for the marriage license.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
